First, set ur denominator to lcm which is 8
15 7/8-5 6/8
= 10 1/8
The correct answer is the third option, which is:
6 inches²
The explanation is shown below:
1. You are working with the areas of the pentagons shown in the figure above. Therefore, the ratios are:
side1²/side2²=A1/A2
(7.5)²/(2.5)²=54/A2
Where A2 is the the area of the smaller pentagon.
2. Therefore, you have that the result is:
A2=6 inches² (As you can see, it is the third option mentioned above).
Answer:
The two numbers are 17 and 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=24
x-y=10
------------
2x=34
x=34/2
x=17
17-y=10
y=17-10
y=7
